(Too early in the morning here.) But, the Polliwog looks excellent.

I took Nancy Marchant&#39;s brioche class at a Vogue Knitting convention years ago. She is a delightful person but I found following her instructions a little confusing, probably because she was forced to go fast because of time constraints. Mimi Kezer does a great job on her video if you Google her name and &quot;brioche stitch&quot;. (She also has two wonderful videos on German short rows. She&#39;s a wonderful teacher). Nancy said in her class she is a friend of Elise Duvecote who is a big proponent of Knit One Below and has a book of those patterns out through XRX. Apparently they are great friends, Nancy said, as long they talk about everything but brioche stitch:-). XRX has great photography but I&#39;m not always crazy about their color choices, although Elise does have a quite a few beauties. You can peruse them on Ravelry (I sound like a commercial, but I&#39;m not:-).) Happy travel planning, Jean!

Great to see the baby&#39;s smile this morning!<br />The Palermo plan with Archie sounds excellent.<br />I am also working on a Sicily plan for 2018 but in early May. The more I read, the better Sicily sounds! A place where one could have so many pistachios that pesto can be made with them ... <br />Yes I too need to read Il Gattopardo - hold placed at the library.<br />Can you still fly to Greece and fly back in time for the christening? Or just plan a Greece trip later on in 2018?<br />Travel planning always improves my mood.<br />have a good week<br />LisaRRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-23661626591835229072017-08-10T13:40:25.590+01:002017-08-10T13:40:25.590+01:00What sweetness that baby is!

I do remember knitting a sweater in fisherman&#39;s rib, which I think is similar to Brioche, and it taking forever, because each row did not add much to the length.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.com
